Abstract

This chapter defines fecal incontinence and describes the impact of fecal incontinence on quality of life using evidence from qualitative research studies. Quality of life related to the experience of men and women with fecal incontinence is described. Five domains of quality of life when living with fecal incontinence were synthesized from the literature and organized into a model. These domains are living with fecal incontinence related to (i) relationships; (ii) time and planning; (iii) body issues, self-esteem, and body image; (iv) sexuality, and (v) diet issues. Key points from each domain are highlighted in this chapter. Implications for advance practice nurses assisting patients to manage fecal incontinence are explained.
